Yeah, we’re (England) going to get stuffed unless we can dig deep, stop kicking it away and tackle like dervishes. Be good if the ref stops the Irish lying in the wrong side of the ruck too, shades of Ritchie McCaul last week against Scotland! |

Ireland to win comfortably and be crowned Champions
I dread to think what the score will be in our game against the French
Scotland will beat Italy as they seem to have run out of steam |

Ireland deserves it all ready and buy the way England are playing they will.
England need to get the world Cup behind them then start again.
Find a good fly half would be a start. |

"Red card or are England playing 16 "
Yes, there was a red card. It will probably ruin what has so far been a good even game.
I suspect the second half will be a totally different one to the first  |

"Ireland was always goin 2 win .ref made sure of that x"
I think it's easy to blame the ref, but ultimately you have to give an opportunity for him to penalise. England have generally really stepped up compared to last week and should be proud of themselves. |

"Agree we played better but still lack confidence 2 go 4 the corner and line out instead kick for 3 points ..x"
I was a forward (back row) so would always have gone for the line out option, but didn't have any problem going for early penalties today.
At the end of the day, we could have been playing against a blind 7's team and we wouldn't have won!
All credit to Ireland, they deserved the GS, for consistency if nothing else. A GS isn't an easy thing to achieve (it just irks that the officials can play such a decisive role!). |

"Ireland was always goin 2 win .ref made sure of that xhow do you make that out. Elbow to the head and a spear tackle both dangerous play "
Not a spear tackle as he brought him to the ground.....didn't drive him down, nor drop him!
Steward got it wrong, too late to drop and tried, unsuccessfully, to turn away.
Having said that, Keenan chose to remain upright! I'm all for player safety, but not enough attention is paid to the actions of the ball carrier! |
